ACT I; 



SCENE. "-Plain room, chairs, table, etc. about stage. Smith discovered seated 
in chair, l. c. 

Smith. "Well, well, what is this world coming to? At this rate it won't. 
be long until it will be impossible to get help at any price, and the help 
we get even now, are so elevated in their ideas of a servant's place, that it 
is almost impossible to put up with their ways. Why, the last man ser- 
vant I employed actually had the impudence, to want to borrow my be3t 
suit, to go to see his dearly beloved Susan Jane. Just think of it ! the ras- 
cal! But he got his ju3t deserts — he left very suddenly on the toe of my 
boot, and I've had to wait on myself ever since. To be sure I've adver- 
tised in the Daily Dispatch, but as yet have not received any applications 
for the position. Bye the bye, I'll just run down to the office and see if 
there has been any applicants to-day. {exit, t. 

Enter Hans slowly, h., loolcs around astonished. 

Hans. Veil off dot dou't beat the deuce. I vould have U3t bet you von 
half dollar, dot I heard some feller a dalkin, but ven I got in here I don't 
see somedings. I vonder vere dot feller got do. I will ust look around a 
leedle. (shouts) Say, vere you vas ? (goes off l., shouts outside) Hullo! 
Hullo ! Dunder und blitzen, vere you got do ? 

Enter Hans, t. 

— Vot kind ofabremises vas dose? (crosses, r.) I dink3 dere vas nopody 
to home. I vill look out di3 vay. (exit, e.) Say— Hullo, better you stop 
dot busine33. Come out of dot. 

Enter Smith, l. 

Smith. Well, there's no use talking, I shall have to learn to wait on my- 
self, there are no answers to my notice yet. (sits, l. c.

Hans, (outside) Veil, I don't find somepody, vot kind of a peesness Toa 
dot. (shouts) Say-y-y ! 

Enter Hans, a. 

—Hullo dhe house ! Say-y-y ! 

Smith, (jumping up) Here you scoundrel, what do you mean by such a 
racket ? (shades him) What in the name of common sense are you doing in 
here any way ? (releases him 

Hans, (going, k. p.) Veil I dfciks I vos found somepody after a vile. 

Smith. You dutch rascal 1 (shakes him) Come, get out of this ! (leads 
him L.) I'll learn you to come iuto a gentleman's house in this manner. 

(kicks him, Hans falls, Smith goes R., 

Hans, (getting up slowly) Veil, purty quick I dinks dot feller yos mat. 
Eh, vot you dinks? 

Smith. You will think I'm mad, if you don't get out of here pretty sud- 
den, (advances 

Hans, (frightened) Holt on ! Holt on ! Better you don't do dot some 
more dimes py shiminy gracious 1 I vos feel like a railroad gollisioa al- 
ready. 

Smith. "What do you want in here anyway? 

Hans. Oh dot vos so. I mos' forgot dot. Dot gollision, mos' made ma 
forget dhe whole pizness. You see 1 vos lookin for a blace vere I could get 
somedings vot I could eat, und mine poard und lodgings. 

Smith. Oh, that is it ! Well my friend, you have got into the wrong 
house. 

Hans. Nein, nein! You don't understand me. I vants a blace do stay. 

Smith. Is it possible, that you have come in answer to my advertisement? 

Hans. Eh? Vot is dot? I don't know myself, a feller dold me off I vos 
to come to dis house, dot I vould find a barty vot vanted a small poy, vot 
could run errands, und eat, und sleep, und 

Smith. Oh I begin to understand, you have come to serve me. 

Hayis. Yah, yah, dots it. 

Smith, 'going, l. f.) Now, that is what I call good luck, just as I was 
about to despair of ever getting another servant, here's one steps right into 
my room, and I rather like his looks too. What I mean, is, he don't look 
like a man, that would want to wear his master's best Sunday suit, and he 
don't look like a lady's man, either. lie does not talk very good English, 
and will probably make a good many blunders, but beggars can't be choos- 
ers, and T believe I will give him atrial, (to Hans) Well, my man, if 
you want a position as servant, and think you would like to work for me, I 
will give you a trial. 

Hans. Veil dot vos all right, vot you van't me to do mit mineself ? 

Smith. Well your duties will not be hard, I just wish you to make your- 
eelf generally useful. 

Hans. Yah, I does dot.

Hans Yah, yah, dot vos all right. 

Smith. I am glad to hear it. I believe you and I will get along splen- 
didly together. So just make yourself at home, {aside) I must look up

Smith. It is strange I can't get that part in my head. 

Enter Hans, r.,

not defy him in his own castle and say, 'Come out thou scoundrel, come 
out I say, where art thou ?' " 

(flourishing his arm, strikes Hans who falls back, c. 

Hans. Oh, shimi.ny gracious! 

Smith, (still acting) "Speak thou rascal, where art thou?" 

Hans. Veil off you vould ust look around a liddle, I tinks you vould sea 
me. 

Smith, (acting) "And to think that my darling Matilda should have 
believed his falsehoods. The villian I will kill him!" 

Hans, (runs, k. f.) Better you don't do it, off you do und I find it out 
by shiminy gracious off I don't break you in dwo pieces. 

Smith, (aloud) So far I have it all right, now I must get a sword before 
I can proceed farther. (exit, l.

I leave off. Oh yes, now then I'll use this chair to represent my opponent.

THE FUNNIEST OF ALL COMEDIES, 

=IAN §= 



AFFLICTED FAMILY; 

OR, A DOCTOR WITHOUT A DIPLOMA: 
By Malcolm S. Taylor. 



Just published from the author's original manuscript. There is always a 
demand t'or a Play which is funny, and written in such a way as to be 
easily represented as regards scenery, and not too difficult in its represen- 
tation. This comedy will be found all that is desired. The following is a 
description of the characters : 

C. Crotchet, a retired merchant, sick in the spleen 

B. Frizzy, a barber addicted to punning and scrapes 

Dr. Gr. Linton, a practical physician, troubled with patients 

L. Staple, ....a young merchant, subject to bashfulness 

' "larence, a student, inclined to ale 

ohn Henry, ....a man servant, complaining of nothing to do 

1. Seizer,. a constable, used to take arvay bad efftct s 

Mrs. Crotchet, ,an invalid, ill with nervousness 

Doll? ' her hiefe" ^^ I both a ^ ccted with a disease of the heart, called love 
Dorothy, ....a maiden aunt, afflicted with deafness, knitting, and a poodle dog 
Betty, a maid servant, suffering out of sympathy for Frizzy 

Ench one of the above characters is worthy the talent of thebest,Comrdy 
representatives, either in or out of the Profession. Amateurs especially 
will find the Play eminently suited to their wants. It is in four acts, each 
act consisting of only one scene. The costumes modern, and scenes all in- 
teriors, enabling companies with a limited stock of scenery to produce it 
easily. Nothing like a description of the ludicrous and laughable situa- 
tions can be given here — but we can truly assure our friends that nearly 
every speech is the signal for roars of laughter and rounds ot applause. If" 
you want something pathetic don't send for it, but if you desire fun from 
the rise of the curtain on the first act, till its fall on the last act, you may 
be sure of not being disappointed if you order this. Price 15 cents per 
copy. ADDIIESS,
